상부전극, Pt, Ir, 그리고 $IrO_2$, 에 따라 수소 열처리전과 후, 그리고 회복열처리시 누설전류특성을 고찰하였다. Pt/PLZT/Pt 케페시터는 수소열처리 후에 다시 회복열처리를 수행하면 완전히 이력곡선의 회복을 보이며 또한 피로특성도 거의 회복 된다. Pt과 IrO$_2$ 상부전극의 경우의 진 누설전류 특성은 열처리조건에 관계없이 강한 시간 의존성을 갖는 space-charge influenced injection모델에 적합하다. 반면에 Ir 상부전극의 경우는 Ir과 PLZT 사이의 계면에 헝성된 전도성 상인 $IrO_2$로 인해 높은 누설전류 밀도를 보이면서 relaxation current 영역이 없이 steady state 영역을 보이는, 주로 Schottky barrier 모델에 의해 설명된다.

In our previous study, we found that spermine and putrescine inhibited spontaneous and acetylcholine (ACh)-induced contractions of guinea-pig stomach via inhibition of L-type voltage- dependent calcium current ($VDCC_L$). In this study, we also studied the effect of spermidine on mechanical contractions and calcium channel current ($I_{Ba}$), and then compared its effects to those by spermine and putrescine. Spermidine inhibited spontaneous contraction of the gastric smooth muscle in a concentration-dependent manner ($IC_{50}=1.1{\pm}0.11mM$). Relationship between inhibition of contraction and calcium current by spermidine was studied using 50 mM high $K^+$-induced contraction: Spermidine (5 mM) significantly reduced high $K^+$ (50 mM)-induced contraction to 37${\pm}$4.7% of the control (p<0.05), and inhibitory effect of spermidine on $I_{Ba}$ was also observed at a wide range of test potential in current/voltage (I/V) relationship. Pre- and post-application of spermidine (5 mM) also significantly inhibited carbachol (CCh) and ACh-induced initial and phasic contractions. Finally, caffeine (10 mM)-induced contraction which is activated by $Ca^{2+}$-induced $Ca^{2+}$ release (CICR), was also inhibited by pretreatment of spermidine (5 mM). These findings suggest that spermidine inhibits spontaneous and CCh-induced contraction via inhibition of $VDCC_L$ and $Ca^{2+}$ releasing mechanism in guinea-pig stomach.

We have fabricated a helmet type magnetoencephalogrphy(MEG) with a $1^{st}$ order gradiometer in vacuum to improve the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) and the boil-off rate of liquid helium(LHe). The axial type first-order gradiometer was fabricated with a double relaxation oscillation SQUID(DROS) sensor which was directly connected with a pickup coil. The neck space of LHe dewar was made to be smaller than that of a conventional dewar, but the LHe boil-off ratio appeared to increase. To reduce the temperature of low Tc SQUID sensor and pickup coil to 9 K, a metal shield made of, such as copper, brass or aluminum, have been usually used for thermal transmission. But the metal shield exhibited high thermal noise and eddy current fluctuation. We quantified the thermal noise and the eddy current fluctuation of metal. In this experiment, we used the bobbin which was made of an alumina to wind Nb superconductive wire for pickup coil and the average noise of coil-in-vacuum type MEG system was $3.5fT/Hz^{1/2}$. Finally, we measured the auditory evoked signal to prove the reliability of coil-in-vacuum type MEG system.

$Li_2B_4O_7$의 완화현상은 이온 깡총뛰기에 의한 것과, 공간전하에 의한 완화현상의 두 가지 종류가 나타나며 이들의 완화시간은 실온 이상에서 모두 $10^2sec$보다 짧은 것으로 보고되었다. 지금까지 논의되지 않은 매우 낮은 주파수 (mHz 혹은 Hz)에서 나타나는 완화현상을 관찰하기 위하여 $30{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 온도영역에서 TSDC(Thermally Stimulated Depolarization Current) 특성에 관한 실험과 사각형 파의 바이어스 전압을 인가하였을 때의 유전특성 조사에 의하여 이온 및 전자 trap에 의한 완화특성을 논의하였다. TSDC 조사를 통하여 $Li_2B_4O_7$의 TSDC 전류곡선이 두 개의 anomaly를 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다. TSDC 에서 나타난 anomaly는 공간전하보다 수천배나 더 긴 완화시간을 갖고 있는 것으로 밝혀졌으며 이 중 저온 쪽의 anomaly는 공간전하 층에 수입된 전자들이 양의 공간전하 층에 trap 되어 공간전하의 재 분포를 방해하는 역할을 하여 trap 되어 있던 전자와 이온이 서로 분리되면서 공간전하의 재 분포가 이루어지는 전도기구에 기인하는 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 고온쪽의 anomaly는 음의 전하운반자가 전극에 흡착되어 나타나는 완화 mechanism으로 생각된다.

This paper discusses a new algorithm, the PAPANET (Pivot And Probe Algorithm for NETwork optimization), for solving linear, capacitated linear network flow problem (NPs), PAPANET is a variation and specialization of the Pivot And Probe Algorithm (PAPA) developed by Sethi and Thompson, published in 1983-1984. PAPANET first solves an initial relaxed NP (RNP) with all the nodes from the original problem and a limited set of arcs (possibly all the artificial and slack arcs). From the arcs not considered in the current relaxation, we PROBE to identify candidate arcs that violate the current solution's dual constraints maximally. Candidate arcs are added to the RNP, and this new RNP is solved to optimality. This candidate pricing procedure and pivoting continue until all the candidate arcs price unfavorably and all of the dual constraints corresponding to the other, so-called noncandidate arcs, are satisfied. The implementation of PAPANET requires significantly fewer arcs and less solution CPU time than is required by the standard network simplex method implementation upon which it is based. Computational tests on randomly generated NPs indicate that our PAPANET implementation requires up to 40-50% fewer pivots and 30-40% less solution CPU time than is required by the comparable standard network simplex implementation from which it is derived.

This study focuses on the design guidelines for planning and implementing the spatial characteristics in the living environment for the New Silver-Generation through the case analysis of "Serviced Residence", which has recently become very popular due to active demands for handy functions and services in flew Silver-Generation living environment. Nowadays, with relaxation of the phenomenon of lack of available houses, the focus of the construction market has shifted from builders to customers. Also, with the advent of the New Silver-Generation with money to spend to improve the quality of their lives, there has been high demand for living environment that provides high-quality services for comfort and convenience. Means to provide high-quality services for comfort and convenience in New Silver-Generation environment warrant much consideration, and hence the current study on Serviced Residence, which has become very popular has been taken up. This study on Serviced Residence will point out the problems found in the current Silver Residence environment and it will serve as an alternative for the living environment of the Silver Generation.

Muscular dystrophy is a hereditary musculoskeletal disorder caused by a mutation in the dystrophin gene. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is one of the most common, and progresses relatively faster than other muscular dystrophies. It is characterized by progressive myofiber degeneration, muscle weakness and ultimately ambulatory loss. Since it is an X-linked recessive inheritance, DMD is mostly expressed in males and rarely expressed or less severe in females. The most effective measurement tool for DMD is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which allows non-invasive examination of longitudinal measurement. It can detect progressive decline of skeletal muscle size by measuring a maximal cross-sectional area of skeletal muscle. Additionally, other techniques in MRI, like $T_2$-weighted imaging, assess muscle damage, including inflammation, by detecting changes in $T_2$ relaxation time. Current MRI techniques even allow quantification of metabolic differences between affected and non-affected muscles in DMD. There is no current cure, but physical therapist can improve their quality of life by maintaining muscle strength and function, especially if treatment (and other forms of medical intervention) begins in the early stages of the disease.

IPO(Iterative Physical Optics) 방법은 대규모 물체의 산란파를 효과적으로 계산하는 고주파 근사 방법 중 하나인 PO(Physical Optics) 방법을 반복적으로 적용하는 계산방법이다. IPO 방법은 일차(first-order) PO 방법에서는 고려하지 못하는 다중 반사를 고려할 수 있어, 산란체 표면에 여기되는 전류의 정확도를 높일 수 있다. 그러므로 산란체의 RCS(Radar Cross Section)를 보다 정확하게 예측할 수 있다. 그러나 IPO 방법은 필요한 적분방정식을 정확하게 풀지 않아 수렴성에 문제가 생긴다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 IPO 방법의 수렴성을 조절하기 위해, 행렬연산에 사용하는 Jacobi, Gauss-Seidel, SOR(Successive Over Relaxation) 그리고 Richardson 방법을 IPO 방법에 적용하였다. 그러므로 대규모 물체의 RCS 계산을 제안된 IPO 방법을 사용하여 효율적으로 계산할 수 있다. 또, 이들의 정확도를 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

The nonapeptide bradykinin has been shown to exhibit an array of biological activities including relaxation/contraction of various smooth muscles. In order to investigate the effects of bradykinin on the contractility and the electrical activity of antral circular muscle of guinea-pig stomach, the isometric contraction and membrane potential were recorded. Also, using standard patch clamp technique, the $Ca^{2+}-activated$ K currents were recorded to observe the change in cytosolic $Ca^{2+}$ concentration. $0.4 {\mu}M$ bradykinin induced a triphasic contractile response (transient contraction-transient relaxation-sustained contraction) and this response was unaffected by pretreatment with neural blockers (tetrodotoxin, atropine and guanethidine) or with apamin. Bradykinin induced hyperpolarization of resting membrane potential and enhanced the amplitude of slow waves and spike potentials. The enhancement of spike potentials was blocked by neural blockers. Both the bradykinin-induced contractions and changes in membrane potential were reversed by the selective $B_2$-receptor antagonist $(N{\alpha}-adamantaneacetyl-_{D}-Arg-[Hyp, Thy,_{D}-Phe]-bradykinin)$. In whole-cell patch clamp experiment, we held the membrane potential at -20 mV and spontaneous and transient changes of Ca-activated K currents were recorded. Bradykinin induced a large transient outward current, consistent with a calcium-releasing action of bradykinin front the intracellular calcium pool, because such change was blocked by pretreatment with caffeine. Bradykinin-induced contraction was also blocked by pretreatment with caffeine. From these results, it is suggested that bradykinin induces a calciumrelease and contraction through the $B_{2}$ receptor of guinea-pig gastric smooth muscle. Enhancement of slow wave activity is an indirect action of bradykinin through enteric nerve cells embedded in muscle strip.
